“To lie in the soft brown earth,
with the grasses waving above one's head,
and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow.
To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”
- Oscar Wilde

Inspiration for this blog

As a social historian and 'graveyard rabbit', I am committed to preservation of the history we find in cemeteries. This blog is principally dedicated to cemeteries in Ireland, although I have included a few sights from North American cemeteries. Together with photos of headstones, grave markers, and other sights of beauty from the necropolis.
